Run to Quit

Run to Quit: an innovative quit smoking program that pairs the quit smoking expertise of the Canadian Cancer Society with Running Room Canada’s Learn to Walk or Run 5 km clinics.

Walking and running can help people cope with discomfort and cravings while cutting down and quitting smoking. Kathryn Walks, training program participant and grand prize winner of a 2016 Ford Focus explains, “Running takes the place of the urge to do something when you are quitting.”

Run to Quit participants receive a variety of resources and supports to help them quit smoking including:

Quit Smoking Guide

$10 coupon for Nicorette or Nicoderm

Supportive counselling from an expert Quit Line coach

Chances to win cash and prizes totaling $45,000.

Run to Quit offers two ways to join: Do It Yourself or, for extra support, Virtual and In-store 10-week Training Programs.

Don’t smoke? Know someone who does? Tell them about Run to Quit or join with them as a run & quit buddy. Run to Quit is for people of all fitness levels and ages.
